| I would keep Reece on puppy food until your other puppy get bigger. |

| Yes, I was just talking to the vet about it tonight. Becuase Aubrey will be 1 in October. And Dakota is just 3 months, So when shes 11 months or so I am going to switch them. |

| As long as your older boy isn't fat, there's no real reason to worry about switching him now. Puppy diets usually have more fat and often have higher protein content than adult foods, and many small breed dogs can actually benefit from that due to their faster metabolisms. If he starts packing on the pounds at some point, switch him off the puppy diet-- otherwise, I'd say it is perfectly all right for him to stay on it until the other puppy is older.

| It's fine to keep him on puppy food. There really isn't that much of a difference - puppy food has more protein and fat.

| I think the puppy food would be just fine. It's very healthy.
